    Next TV rights deal part 2

    nine wanted a thursday game but you can't limit short turnarounds and also keep MNF. At least not permanently anyway.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    It's no different to Gyngell moving the Sunday game to 4pm so it's live, the NRL were never going to convince broadcasters to pay the game millions more for rights they already owned. Not having to wait until 2018 for all games live, control of schedule, simulcasting, an NRL channel and 4 FTA...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    They are also giving up 5 sat night games, if they are paying more it would be to Nine, not the NRL, Nine owned those games for the next 2 years, not the NRL.

    no, because both nine & fox are losing something to be able to introduce the changes.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    it's not, it is for 5 years @1.8bn, the financial terms of the current deal will remain until the increased money kicks in for 2018-22. Nine get thursday's, which is why they are giving up simulcasting, fox get fri 6pm, which is why they will give up MNF in 2017.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    I meant under the old deal which has had the Broncos play nearly every home game on a friday night, under the new deal the Warriors fans are no worse off than Broncos fans have been.
